The second group of temperature readings at the bottom seem inaccurate. If the software doesn’t recognize your Intel CPU’s 90°C thermal limit instead of the standard 100°C, this section might display your CPU core and package temps 10°C higher than they truly are. The highest reported core temp is 94°C, which is just a throttling effect since the limit is set to 90°C. Should you keep the default 90°C setting recommended by Intel? If FiveM runs more AVX instructions than other titles, it can generate significant extra power use and more heat. Resetting HWiNFO data before launching a game should help maintain accurate max power tracking for comparison. Your VID voltage peaks at 1.522V. Check HWiNFO’s Vcore readings; if the BIOS auto-voltage is enabled, it could be pushing the voltage unnecessarily higher. A minor adjustment might provide a bit more thermal margin.
I believe it’s best to keep it at the factory setting. I’m unsure why I’d let it heat up further when it already feels excessively hot. As mentioned, this problem is new to me. I’ve conducted several benchmark tests in the past, and the temperatures never reached such high levels. I’m playing on a particular server only within the game environment, as we’re setting up. No one else seems to be experiencing this high CPU usage issue, and there are no reports of performance throttling for CPU-intensive tasks like UI operations. If this is specific to FiveM, it doesn’t seem like a personal problem—I have the most powerful CPU available among everyone here. Also, 90°C feels unusually high given that the system is only running at about 10% load. Could you clarify more? I haven’t really experimented with BIOS settings before, so I’m not sure what to check. Attached are additional readings from Microsoft Flight Simulator. These came from browsing the marketplace rather than playing the game world. I’ve never had any issues with MFS before either. There must be some hardware-related problem, but I don’t know what it is.
I checked the MSI BIOS documentation but didn’t find any mention of multi-core support or related issues. It seems the performance impact wouldn’t appear until later, possibly after a few years of use.
